2026 9-23 Transportation Commission Meeting

The City of Alameda Transportation Commission held a meeting on September 23, 2026, focusing on various transportation projects, grant applications, and capital improvements. Key procurement-related discussions included the submission of grant applications for projects such as the West End corridor paving, neighborhood greenways phase 2, Grand Street phase three, and the wooden bridge replacement study. The commission reviewed and provided input on the draft complete streets checklist for the Fernside Boulevard traffic calming and bikeways project, which is a required component of a grant application for design funding. The grant would support design and engineering efforts, including alternatives analysis for the Gibbons High and Fernside intersection. The commission also received a status report on transportation projects, highlighting ongoing capital improvements like the Stargill A complete streets project, Grand Street phase two construction planning, and the Central Avenue safety improvement project nearing completion. Discussions addressed challenges such as permitting for shoreline projects, coordination with AC Transit on bus stop improvements, and the need for additional staffing and funding to support infrastructure maintenance and enhancements. The commission unanimously accepted the status report and recognized the service of outgoing commissioners. No votes were taken to reallocate funds or change project scopes during this meeting.
